Wednesday"
University of Oregon’s fresh
man swimming team winds up its
schedule this Wednesday when
they trade splashes with the Eu
gene high school mermen.
The meet is scheduled for the
men’s pool, on the campus, and
finds the Ducklings running into
an unknown quantity in the Axe
bearing preppers.
Thus far in the season the Ore
gon freshmen have dropped only
one meet. This was to the Oregon
State Rooks in the first encoun
ter of the season. To follow this
up Coach Mike Hoyman's young
sters bounced the Rooks in a re
turn fest.
Then in short order they
smashed the hopes of the Univer
sity high school team, and the
Salem high school Vikings.
The freshman team—which is
in reality a proving ground for
the varsity—has pushed at least
two swimmers to the fore that
should prove interesting material
for Coach Hoyman. They are Co
captains Earl Walters, and A1
Peterson who have been the back
bone of the squad.
